Uncle David's Wedding

My sister Amy, made the cake for my Uncle David's wedding.
I tried to take the credit but guilt set in.
Pretty amazing huh?!?




This is Becky...The beautiful bride!



Here we have the bride and groom...Becky and Dave.
It was so fun to see my uncle. I haven't seen him forever.
Kennedy and I were the only ones able to attend but it was a
fun evening. My Mom and Dad had things set up in their backyard...
They made the evening memorable for all.
Welcome to the family Becky!!!

MVP of the Day

Hip...Hip...Hooray...for Kennedy today! Kennedy was

chosen as one of the MVP students for the month of September.

Her teacher and other teachers nominated her for being

a great example and super student!

She got her picture taken with the principal. Her picture will

also be in the newspaper!

Way to go Kenners!!! We're proud of you!!!

Bethany's Driving.....Yikes!

Yes... The time has come for Bethany to begin driving.
We decided to go on a Sunday drive around the Pond. I got the opportunity to sit up front while Jared was the back seat driver. Bethany doesn't have a speed problem...Yet, but we were driving and suddenly we saw the sign below:



Jared rather calmly said, "Dip, Slow down..."
After he repeated it for the 4th time and the front of the Subaru went into the dip, Bethany realized he was talking to her. He asked her if she saw the sign and she replied,"I'm watching the road Dad, how was I supposed to see that!" Then she said ,"And all this time I thought you were calling me the Dip--slow down." What fun moments are ahead of us!!!



Yes, the car is still in one piece!

Dads & Donuts

Today was quite an exciting day for Kennedy.
She has been counting down the days for today
because Dad got to go to school with her at
8:00 am--just a side note, Kennedy usually
doesn't rise until much later!
Dad woke up Kennedy, helped her get dressed,
did her hair, made sure teeth were brushed and
they were ready to go out the door before 8:00am.
I am so impressed. Maybe if we had this everyday,
okay--every week I could get used to this!!!



Kennedy thought she might find a donut this big!
She loves donuts...But more than anything she loves
being with her Dad. They got to school, had donuts,
and read three books. To make things even more exciting,
she got to ride in the "Sexy Black Hot Rod"
(aka--the Black Pontiac Solstice that has occassionally
been refered to as Jared's early mid life crisis--
I've been informed that it has nothing to do with that!) Anyway...
When it was time for Dad to go to work Kennedy was ready
to go with him. If he hadn't convinced her that she had to
go to school because it was picture day, she probably would
be his personal secretary for the day! What a fun morning
for everyone!!! Thanks Dad!

Fall Festival

We had the Fall Festival at the school this week.
Kennedy had a super time playing with Maddie on the slide.



Kenner's loves her "adopted" little sis, Ellia!



Kenners Ellia, & Katie had a blast on the train...
Choo, Choo!



Kennedy has a great time with friends of all ages!

School Spirit

I've got spirit, yes, I do...
I've got spirit, how 'bout you!



Yes, it was clash day...
Need I say more!




Doesn't she look like a
true athlete?!?



She might be working
too hard on this one!



Now, there's our true performer!!!

Teeter-Totter Safety 101

Yes, Bethany and Erica are reverting back to their
younger days. Perhaps they should have reviewed
the basics...



I suppose it's a little late to remind them to communicate...
I looked out the kitchen window just in time to
catch this great photo opportunity. I heard screaming and
then someone shouting, "I thought you were going to tell me
before you let go!" Some much for the basics...




They seem to be alive...They're still smiling!
I'm sure they've learned their lesson...



Or have they?!? This toy of Kennedy's has sure
been a big hit for teenagers when they come to hangout.
I guess the child in us never goes away!
Maybe Jared and I should try it out! What do you think?!?

Taylor's Accessories...

Check out Tay-Tay's newest addition!




Doesn't she look so sophisticated and glamorous?!? After weeks of
headaches, we're trying a new solution. Hope it works!

RV Show

On Saturday, Kennedy, Jared and I went to the RV show.

After looking at a bizzillion RV's Kennedy found the perfect one...

It had a kids room with books to read and a stuffed animal to hold.

She thought we should get it right then.

Instead, she convinced Dad to sit down and read her a book!

Crazy Hair Day

It was crazy hair day in Kindergarten
yesterday so Kennedy ratted her hair
forever...Crazy hair for a crazy girl.



What a girl!!! I'm sure we'll have a
great time combing out this creation...

Powder Puff Football...

It's football time ...Yes Bethany, made her grand entrance along with the cheerleaders. I think Kinsey and Bethany are discussing which way they are going to run... It even looks like someone

is offering a plea for help!

Ready, Set...Oh wait...

Let's call a time out...again...Now what was I suppossed to do?!? Needless to say, the cheerleaders showed great effort but were defeated by the "Black Attack " aka...girls who were in it to win. It was pouring down rain, wind blowing , freezing cold and when all was said and done of course the cheerleaders gave themselves a great cheer!!! Go girly, girls...You were awesome!

Rainy Days

Yes, we're still in September and Kennedy is dressed somewhat for winter! She wanted to play in the rain.

Not a care in the world...If only we could all think like a child! Enjoy the moments...

Kennedy's in Kindergarten

Kennedy had her special time meeting her teacher
and checking out the classroom.
She found a furry friend!


When it was time to go Kennedy wanted to stay longer.
She has been waiting a whole year to go to school!!!


She has the best teacher in the school---Just ask her, she'll tell you!


On her scooter ready to roll!

Labor Day Adventures

We went camping at Miller's Flat...
The weather was great until we got ready to come home.
It rained tons and made the roads a muddy mess.
We wondered if we were going to have to leave the motorhome up on top of the mountain.
This is the end result...



Even Don's truck had a difficult time getting off the mountain!!!


The mud coming out of the motorhome wheels looked like play dough squirting out.


Looks like fun huh?!?

Our weekend trip...

Going to Les Miserable...


Dinner with friends at Outback!

First day of school

Check out this hottie! Yea!!~Back to school!


Strike a pose Bethany!!!


Taylor is thrilled...Can you tell?!?


Attitude to the fullest! Kennedy's first day of Kindergarten!
